Question

X+4(x+5)=40
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Answer 1

Answer: 5x+20=40

Explanation:

Simplify the expression

Distribute

x + 4 ( x + 5 ) = 40

x + 4x + 20 = 40

Combine like terms

x + 4 ( x + 5) = 40

5x + 20 = 40

Subtract 20 from both sides

5x + 20 = 40

5x + 20-20 = 40-20

5x = 20

Solution

Divide 5 on both sides to seperate 5 from x

5x/5 = 20/5

x = 4

Answer 2

To solve for x in the equation:

x+4(x+5)=40

we first simplify the left side by distributing the 4:

x + 4x + 20 = 40

Combining like terms, we get:

5x + 20 = 40

Subtracting 20 from both sides, we get:

5x = 20

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x = 4

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 4.
